Swept AI, a startup that is enabling the future of synthetic workers with intelligent interrogation, supervision and optimization of agentic systems, announced it has raised a $1.4M Pre-Seed led by M25, with participation from Wellington Management Company, BuffGold Ventures, Ann Arbor SPARK, Service Provider Capital, The Unicorn Group and individual angels.
“It is a tremendous privilege to be partnering with M25 to move forward the state-of-the-art in agentic evaluation and supervision,” said Shane Emmons, Co-Founder & CEO. “It is such early innings for the application of AI broadly, and Swept is well positioned to ensure every company can deploy reliable and trustworthy AI.”
As AI agents become more autonomous, businesses face mounting challenges around reliability, security and compliance. Without robust frameworks for interrogation and governance, these systems can behave unpredictably—or even dangerously—in high-stakes industries like finance, healthcare and cybersecurity.
Swept AI is tackling these risks head-on. Its platform is purpose-built to supervise and interrogate AI agents in real time, ensuring safer and more reliable deployment of autonomous systems across the enterprise. Swept also works with sales organizations to prove their AI meets a standard of trustworthiness that procurement teams can confidently buy. For AI companies selling into enterprises, Swept can help prove their safety, efficacy and reliability.
Amy and Shane have worked together for the past eight years across multiple companies from seed to exit, building apps used by over 25 million users and tens of thousands of organizations.
“We help businesses take control of unreliable AI before it ever reaches their customers,” said Amy Fox, Co-Founder & President. “We like to joke that we use math, not vibes, to prove the trustworthiness of AI systems. But that’s exactly what teams need right now: clear, defensible ways to know their AI is working as intended. We’re building the foundation for a future where AI amplifies human capabilities. And trust is the key that unlocks that potential.”
Agentic AI is reshaping software, replacing traditional applications with adaptive systems that make decisions and learn independently. This paradigm shift breaks the assumptions that legacy testing and monitoring tools were built on. Swept AI is laying the foundation for a future where AI agents are not just powerful, but also transparent, secure and governed by design.
“We believe what Swept is building for the problems that arise with the nondeterministic reality of agentic AI will be critical infrastructure, especially for high risk and high value use cases,” said Mike Asem, Founding Partner at M25. “Both Shane and Amy come with great experience andexpertise—as both operators and true technologists—and we could not be more excited to partner with them as the lead investor of their first institutional round of capital.”
This funding will support key hires and further product development as Swept AI scales its platform.
